My aim is to create an low-polygon model of Pelargir (c. 17th century Third Age) in scale of 1:1000. Basis of the map is the one published in ICE:s Sea-Lords of Gondor. I have developed it further to give the city a plausible social and architectural history. Days numbered are actual workdays used only for this project.

The project is currently on a break. I'll return to Pelargir when time permits. In the meantime, there is this.

Day 1: Started with a heightmap and few loci to define the area of the city.

First draft of Iant Annûn, seen from Enta Sirith.

Day 2: Spouting Whale & Dock

Day 2: Buildings from above.

Day 3: Northern part of the Neldëlendin, minus bridges and details. From right to left: Spouting Whale Inn, Captain's Guildhalls, Courtyard of Shipmasters, Houses of the Shippers and Outfitters, Halls of House Talahir, Warehouses, Belltower.

Day 4: Making those little houses really takes time. The same area from above, with Angamando, more piers and buildings added.

Day 5: Halls of the Faithful in the quarter of Gobel Ciryaher.

Day 5: A view to very incomplete Newport (Vinyalond), with Halls of the Faithful in the background.
